Harumi Yamaguchi + Yoshirotten “Harumi’s Summer”

Ginza Graphic Gallery

Finished

Artists

Harumi Yamaguchi, Yoshirotten

Harumi Yamaguchi brought her career into the limelight as an advertising illustrator for Parco department store. The women she depicted—“Harumi Gals”—while comprising an integral part of Parco’s advertising strategy, greatly inspired the women of the day, who were eagerly searching for new lifestyles. The energy of the strong, positive, lithe Harumi Gals, bursting from Yamaguchi’s canvases, even today, when their role as advertisements has long ended, continue to fascinate us as vividly as ever. This exhibition, titled “Harumi’s Summer,” was suggested by Harumi Yamaguchi herself as an event for summer 2018, with graphic artist and art director Yoshirotten serving as her collaborator.
